The issue of price rise paralysed Parliament with an agitated opposition forcing adjournment of Rajya Sabha for the day and repeated disruptions in Lok Sabha.

The Upper House called it a day soon after it assembled after Question Hour as the opposition members raised slogans protesting the spiralling prices.

P J Kurien, who was in the Chair, tried to pacify the members and asked the ministers to lay the papers listed for the day. As the din continued, he adjourned the House for the day. Earlier, the Rajya Sabha was adjourned for an hour soon after it met for the day.

The Lok Sabha was adjourned twice before lunch. The House adjourned for an hour minutes after it met for the day and then till 2.00 PM after SP and RJD members led by Mulayam Singh Yadav and Lalu Prasad stormed the well shouting slogans denouncing the government for its "failure" to check price rise.

They chanted slogans like 'Jo Sarkar Nikammi Hai, woh Sarkar Badalani Hai (we have to change the government, which is incompetent)' as BJP and other opposition members were on their feet protesting against price rise.

As the members refused to relent even after the House resumed during Zero Hour, Speaker Meira Kumar adjourned the Lok Sabha till 2.00 PM amid vociferous demands for a discussion on the issue of price rise from opposition parties and even some of those supporting the government.
